I am using GIMP to create images for sublimation printing. I have an Epson WF7720 printer. I set the page size to 11x17 or 13x19 and create an image. When I print GIMP crops off the image as if it were still 8.5x11" If I change the printer to Microsoft PDF I can create a full size image and then print that. What am I missing? BTW: Extra points if you can help me tile extra large images. I currently create an image in Gimp then take it into Inkscape to cut it up into printer page size chunks.

Hi vanwilliam.

Just for clarification, when you say you set the 'page size' to say 11x17, is that the 'canvas size' on which you created your image?

Did you check/set in Gimp 'File>Page setup' your printer output paper sizes. I think the default setting there would be 'letter' size i.e. 11x8.5

First I set the image size when creating a new image to 13x19 in. When I go to File-Page Setup and change the setting to Super B (13x19) it doesn't seem to stick. Once set I can reopen File-Page Setup and it's back to Letter 8.5x11.
